After being let go twice in her working life, writer/photographer/and now professional organizer Leslie Jacobs learned how to not only survive but give birth to a new, successful life-in effect to make lemonade out of those proverbial lemons.

Out of the wisdom gained, she created Survival in the Unemployment Line, which provides the answer to "What do I do now?" The book shows how to go about finding that next great job, how to market yourself, how to manage those pesky monthly bills, how to barter for the things you need, and what you can do in the meantime to make money.

There are a plethora of tips on how to organize your life and stay on track, how to have cost-free fun, and what to do to keep yourself from "going bonkers."
